What is this sensor or part

This sensor is leaking. Does anyone know what it is. I’ve tried looking it up everywhere. It’s underneath this pulley on the passenger side. Any help would be much appreciated thanks

 

It might be the timing cover leaking/heavy seep rather than the sensor leaking, I would clean it off and watch and see exactly where it's coming from before replacing parts.

 

I cleaned it off & watched it. It’s leaking out of the plastic

 

I got ya. Is it connected directly to the power steering pump? It kinda looks like it is, but hard to tell from the pic

 

Ya I think it is. I thought it was gonna be power steering fluid but it’s forsure motor oil

 

That's weird. I just went and tried to see if I could see it on my 22, but I couldn't really see anything

 

The sensor is a power steering pressure sensor. If it's motor oil, it's not leaking out of there. It's likely leaking out of the VVT-i line. I have a similar leak I need to fix.

 

Oil pressure sensor

 

Did you ever figure out what the correct name for the sensor was? I'm having the same issue. It's "bleeding" oil from this sensor
